I keep running into a road block.

Quote from @Nicholas Goerss: Quote from @Jeff Chisum: If you run into debt to income challenges you can get a lease in place prior to closing in order to offset the debt.  

I have over a hundred rental units I own and operate in Utah everything from homes and condos to larger multifamily.Salt Lake County has higher property taxes and is basically built out already and Ogden even though you can find good opportunities in the long run it won't be able to compete with South Utah County or Eagle Mountain. 

I've had my GC run through the property and he did not discover any leaks, so I'm purely confused why I'm seeing this massive increase. 

Because I don't see any exceptions in it for those people who want to get out, who want to just sell and run.

Once duplexed, run the short term rental as allowed by local law.

Eventually, I want to transition to multifamily or commercial real estate investing and run my own business as my full-time job.

But this has proved false, and when running comps, this is a big deal. 

I run a Lakehouse STR and did the same thing.
